How every job runs

A result is only as good as the sample behind it. Each sample has a signed record from the moment it's collected until the lab receives it.

  1. You send the requirement

    Your sample schedule, permit, or plan. We confirm the tests, sample points, dates, and price in writing before anything is collected.

  2. We collect on site

    The right sample point, the right bottle and preservative, and field readings for chlorine, pH, and temperature where required.

    Chain of custody starts
  3. Sealed and kept cold

    Samples ride in a dual-zone, climate-controlled cooler. They are never left unattended.

  4. Delivered within hold time

    Hand-delivered to Adirondack Environmental Services in Albany, a NYS ELAP-accredited laboratory.

    Signed over to the lab
  5. Results from the lab

    The lab sends its report directly to you, along with the signed chain of custody.

Included in every price

  • Bottles, preservatives, ice, and packaging
  • Collection by OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER trained personnel
  • Field readings where required
  • Chain of custody, signed at every transfer
  • Cold transport within the method hold time
  • Analysis by a NYS ELAP-accredited laboratory
  • Lab report sent directly to you by the lab

Not something we do

  • Water treatment or system repairs
  • Writing sampling or water management plans
  • Filing reports with the County, NYSDOH, or DEC. That stays with the system owner, using the lab report.
